Open 7:30 am - 4:30 pm Monday thru Saturday Reflections on the History of Cults

by David W Seldin

In ancient Africa, near what is now Nigeria, there were once two mighty cults, the Gold Cult and the Ivory Cult. They shared a common border, and each regarded the other as a threat. An attempt to hold a conference in Geneva failed when the Gold Cult refused to leave its own country, saying "Better Gold than cold." This propaganda was part of the non-violent Gold war. The Ivory Cult tried to counteract this with a campaign of "white" lies. The Gold Cult retaliated with yellow journalism, causing the Ivory to reply with a huge volume of propaganda, called Ivory "snow". The time for more drastic action was fast approaching. At this point, it is helpful to explain the ways of the two cults. The Ivory Cult contained a high per- centage of purists; in fact, out ofevery 10,000 mem- bers, 9,944 were pure. Life was not easy, for the members were burdened by many hard tusks. Al- most all things were made of ivory, even locks and spy who came in from the Gold." He brought the keys.

'13 "Beer after beer after beer after beer.... " From a famous television commercial

The more I drink of it, the more I think of it - An Essay by Charles Deber that beer is becoming as much a part of the college man's diet as is creamed chipped beef on toast. But that shingle doesn't make you tingle. Not like beer does. It must be profitable to be in the beer business. It seems like all I do lately is drink beer. I mean, we're sitting around, trying to think of something to do that'll serve as a reasonable excuse for not studying, so somebody says, "Let's go for pizza." A fine idea, except that while we're waiting the standard half hour for our pies, we have a couple of beers. Or maybe we went to a seminar over at Harvard, and the thing ended around 9:30 - just about too late for you to get back to your room to accom- plish anything constructive - so we have a couple of beers. Or perhaps it's around midnight, and you're talking to your best buddy about your pathetic sex life, and he realizes that you're likely to talk much more freely if you've got a beer in your hand, so he makes a quick trip to the refrigerator, and sud- denly, you've got a beer in your hand - and so does he. It just seems like it's difficult to go 24 hours with- out having a beer. Of course, there's a guy in every dorm who drinks milk instead, but some day he'll be sadder Budweiser.

It's very "American". It's very "friendly." It means you've got yourself a night out with the boys, away from the wife (who undoubtably drinks milk). It means you're having fun, whatever fun is. And more particularly, beer has come to be associated with college men; beer is the student's drink. Beer equals college.

.r. ladies and gentlemen (mostly gentlemen, Phos suspects), you are presently staring at Miss Phyllis Ryan, VooDoo's December Doll, caught as she poses in M .I.T.'s breezy Great Court. This 19-year-old lass possesses brains as well as beauty, being a soph- omore honor student at Boston University. Phyllis was on T.V. (you know - the sound box with the picture) in California, where she was First Runnerup in the 'Miss Teen U.S.A.' contest last spring. Rather impressive, when you consider that Phos wasn't even among the finalists. If you happened to be at the World's Fair this summer, maybe you saw Phyllis, who modelled there through the Hart Agency. Phos wanted to model too, but he iust didn't have the Heart. Phyllis lives down in Quincy, Mass., and tells Phos she prefers Harvard men. Phos was not at all surprised to hearthat. After all, a lot of Harvard men like Harvard men. A girl was telling a boy friend that she realized she was very popular, but she didn't know why. "Do you suppose it's my complexion?" "No," he said. "My figure?" "N0." "My personality?" "No." "I give up." "That's it !"

And to amuse them- selves on Saturday nights until they could find a new showman, they took El Escee to a tower and slowly tortured him to death. Th e Pigs and the Keeper Once there was a pen of pigs in a zoo. It was the pigs' duty to spend at least four hours a day performing for the benefit of the city children, doing such things as grunting, rolling in mud, and digging in the cold ground with their snouts. Every day the zookeeper would come and pour some horrible slop in- to the common feeding trough from which they ate. When the pigs complained about the bad food, all the people took their protestations as an additional entertainment of the zoo. But the zoo found expenses hard to meet, and the pigs were told they must work five hours a day to attract bigger crowds. In return, they were given a new slop-bucket; they also were given longer waits for their meals, and decidedly poorer grade slop. In- stead of choice chunks, they were fed a uniform goo of question- able origin. The pigs realized the futility of complaining, and helplessly watched as their meals became sparser and worse. They had to find a way to im- prove their lot. So one day when the keeper stepped into the pen to fill the common trough, all the pigs jumped on him and trampled him to death in the mud. - Levine

POD '- 3526 A"'t- Itt3 After the grand response to our last movie-parody photo feature, we decided to do an even better one (we hope). Who knows, there may even be some- one, somewhere, who likes it! At any rate, we've taken a spanking new movie. It's about a girl who collects the tokens for the M.T.A. By the same token, the title ....

Yolks E. \Vaggon, noted anarchist and leader of the plot to overthrow the l\'I.B.T .A. (formerly the NI.T.A.) is found at Park Square Under, buying a (Tune: Just You Wait) token from our heroine Laser Voodiddle. He wears a fez, symbolic of the cause. He proceeds to board 'S just your weigh4 Volks E. Waggon~ Just your the train and thereby overturns it. weight. I am sorry~ but your mass is just too great. I would love to take your money~ But you weigh an English Tonney~ - Too much weight~ Volks E. Waggon~ Too much weight.

Oh~ Volks E. Waggon~ too much weight for you to board the MB. T. A.~ Volks E. Waggon~ though I'd love to have a chance to take your fee. But pay as you may~ we could never make head- way With that weigh4 Volks E. Waggon Sad your feight, Volks E. Waggon Too much weight!

Laser runs to stop him!!!

(Tune: Wouldn't It Be Loverly) All I want is you'll stand right there In the part that:s up in the air Just settle in a chair Oh wouldn't it be levelly !

A Train Screech!! And Laser recoils in horror! !

(Tune: Why Can't the English)

Heavens, what a noise! This is what the Boston population Gets, when riding into Boylston Station! Why can't these Yankees teach their subways how to turn? Their tracks are all lain crooked, I guess they'll never learn; If you turned as they do sir, withyour automobile ... Why you would be missing your front wheel !

Waggon now recognizes Laser as a fellow foe of the MBTA and is overjoyed.

Later at the office, we see Old Yolks at home. He suggests to his First Aide, Herr Pickled Ring, and to his housekipper, l\lrs. Herring, that they include Laser in their plot. They are skeptical!

(Tune: Without You)

Though she rings up the fares, we doubt you. Though she knows whens and wheres, we doubt you. She knows signals and signs, She knows spurs and main lines, Though she reads the Sunday Times We doubt you.

Though she says she:s their foe, we doubt you. She says trolleys must go; we doubt you. In a fez she'd look well, but a once-tolling belle... We doubt you!

(Tune: Get Me to the Church on Time)

They ~regetting harried without warning Ere long our belle is gonna shine. Cut off their service Commutors get nervous Though they ~venever gotten home on time!

While Herr Ring protests, "We ain't gonna train no l\loor" (apparently because of her fez), Waggon is adamant.

(Tune: I Could Have Danced All Night)

I could have planned stall nigh~ I could have plan- ned stall nigh~ Da dee dee da dum more.

Good, but tighten up the lyrics a bit.

Their first stall-in in the suburbs is unsuccessful since everyone recognizes Laser, who was once Miss Subways, that is A Reign on the Train :l\lade Jamaica Plains in Vain.

Herr Ring and Waggon decide to disguise Laser.

(Tune: I've Grown Accustomed to Her Facel

I~ve sewn a costume to her fez To cover up her jutting chin I feel so awtlly unrepenting about making that damn bet Surely I could always call it off again~ and ye~' I ~vesewn a costume to her fez A kerchief to her nose; A costume~ to her fez.

Here molecules stand still, some liquids flow uphill, and an electric current encounters virtually no resistance. Cryogenics - the science of ultracold - is an area of major emphasis for General Electric re- search and development. It's important because it promises smaller and faster computers, truly frictionless bearings, better ways to transmit vast amounts of electric energy. Future progress is being shaped by General Electric people in many ways developing jet engines for supersonic aircraft automating in- dustries to increase human productivity ... apply- ing computers to such tasks as helping teachers work effectively with the swelling number of students. These are projects in which college-educated men and women at General Electric are putting their training to good use in meeting people's needs - today's and tomorrow's.
